Commercial Law

Doing Business? Need Legal Advice?

If you are doing business, you will know that things can go wrong even when the parties have good intentions. Sometimes goods and services cannot be delivered in time. At other times, there may be an honest misunderstanding. When commercial matters are involved, it is best to deal with the problem as early as possible.

Here are some areas where we may be able to help you.

Debt Recovery may be an option for companies that have sold goods but cannot recover payment for the goods sold and delivered. In many industries, it is common for distributors to give credit terms, but after the expiry of such credit period (e.g. 90 days), some clients refuse to pay.

Passing Off action arises when a business finds that its products or services are being imitated unlawfully by an authorized individual or entity. In the long term, unlawful imitation of a product or service may lead to loss of business by diverting away genuine clients of the victim. It may even lead to loss of reputation if the imitation product or service is of inferior quality.
